A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Expl. Dept. Derby. Dear Robotham, Further to my letter of yesterday, I hope on Monday to be submitting the suggestion for the support of the armoured casing, and so the triple air line on the instrument body, thus giving room for the pipe to be led off to the pump and to the back tube connection and pressure balance connection conveniently. I think that we can make something quite practical, and feel confident that it will obviate any possibilities of breakages, even under French conditions. Yours sincerely, J.P.
